DNA replication of the parvovirus Kilham rat virus. I. Characterization of intracellular forms of viral DNA extracted by guanidine hydrochloride

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7100340

The following experimental procedures are described: infection of rat kidney cell cultures with Kilham rat virus (KRV); labeling and extraction of DNA; sucrose density gradient sedimentation; digestion by S/sub 1/ nuclease; and chromatography of DNA on benzoylated-napthoylated DEAE(BND)-cellulose columns. Results are discussed with regard to isolation and purification of intracellular forms of KRV DNA; velocity sedimentation in alkaline sucrose gradients; S/sub 1/ nuclease digestion of intracellular viral DNA; BND-cellulose chromatography; and pulse-chase experiment for identification of RIs. Results indicate that within the infected cell and at a time of active viral DNA replication, three populations of viral-specific molecules can be obtained by extraction with guanidine HCl. Characteristics of the three populations are described. (HLW)
